Play it your way with style

Onkyo's compact CS-355 Colibrino music system makes a stylish choice for high-quality listening in smaller spaces. With its great sound and looks, this mini system packs the technology you need to enjoy all your tunes with ease. No matter how you take your entertainment — CDs, local radio, your iPod®, smartphone, laptop or tablet PC — the CS-355 will play it all back with surprising power, detail, and clarity.

Lots of ways to listen

The CS-355's AM/FM tuner features 30 station presets to keep you in touch with local news, weather, and music. The disc player handles standard music CDs, as well as home-burned MP3 discs. A front-panel USB input lets you connect your iPod®, iPhone®, or iPad® and control it using the Onkyo remote. You can also plug a thumb drive loaded with music into the USB port and enjoy your favorites that way. Plus, built-in Bluetooth allows super-convenient wireless playback from compatible smart phones, tablets, or personal computers.

And you're not limited to just the music stored on your device. Use your tablet to connect to your favorite online music streaming service, for example, and enjoy your own personal radio station's selections through the CS-355. Or stream the soundtrack from the video you're watching on your smartphone. The system's auxiliary input even lets you connect an additional audio component.

Small system with a big sound

With no shortage of music to play, you'll need a system with speakers that can handle the action. Each of the Onkyo's speaker cabinets boast a 3-15/16" cone woofer for potent bass and clear midrange, while a balanced 3/4" dome tweeter supplies smooth treble with plenty of detail. The rounded enclosures have subtly angled sides to prevent internal standing waves and the boomy sound that can result. Driven by an ample 15 watts per channel, this system will fill your entire room with beautiful music.

Features

Overview: The Onkyo CS-355 is a compact audio mini-system
with a built-in stereo amplifier, CD player, AM/FM tuner, front-panel USB port
for connection of an iPod/iPhone/iPad or USB flash memory device, and built-in
Bluetooth technology. It comes with a pair of 2-way speakers, and a wireless
remote control.

Note: Available in black, white, or red,

Amplifier Section: The CS-355 is equipped with a two-channel
digital amplifier, which produces 15 watts per channel at 6Ω (1 kHz, 10% THD).
From the front-panel or remote, you can adjust the bass (100 Hz) and treble (10
kHz) by +/-10dB. The Super Bass control adds up to +8dB of bass (80 Hz) when
activated. The speaker outputs feature binding posts that allow you to connect
the speakers via bare wire, pin connectors, or single banana plugs. A collar
around the binding post prevents the use of spade lugs, and the terminals are
spaced too far apart for dual banana plugs.

CD Playback: The CS-355's single-disc CD player will play
Audio CDs and CD-R/CD-RW discs. Standard 12cm discs, as well as 8cm CDs can be
played. It will also play back MP3 (32-320 kbps) music files recorded with ISO
9660 Level 1/2; a maximum of 299 folders/648 files per folder can be recognized
on a single disc. Playback functions include; Play/Pause, Fast Forward/Rewind,
Previous/Next Track, and Random/Repeat. The CD player features a single-bit D/A
converter.

AM/FM Tuner Section: The unit has an AM/FM tuner with
manual, seek, and preset tuning. You can store up to 30 AM and 30 FM station
presets. With the Auto Preset function, you can automatically preset all of the
FM radio stations available in your area. An AM loop antenna and FM wire antenna
are included.

Bluetooth A2DP (w/ aptX): The Onkyo CS-335's built-in
Bluetooth (v2.1+EDR) lets you wirelessly stream music from any Bluetooth-enabled device
supporting A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile). The unit can store the
pairing information of up to 8 Bluetooth devices (only one can be used at a
time). The CS-335 also supports aptX, an audio coding technology that works
within Bluetooth to wirelessly deliver CD-quality audio from your
Bluetooth-enabled device to the Onkyo system. With apt-X, you can listen to your
digital music files in crisp, pure, and full stereo sound. You will continue to
use your Bluetooth-enabled device to control playback and view artist/song
information.

Note: Due to the differences in Bluetooth technology,
some Bluetooth enabled devices may be incompatible, function improperly, or
may not support all features when used with the Onkyo CS-335

Front-Panel USB Port: The unit's front-panel USB (type-A) port allows you to connect a USB
Mass Storage Class (MSC) compliant device; such as your Android smartphone,
portable digital audio player, or USB thumbdrive. Your USB MSC device must be
formatted in FAT16 or FAT32. The USB port enables audio playback & control of
audio files stored on portable USB mass-storage class devices. Compatible music
file formats include MP3 (8-320 kbps); a maximum of 299 folders/648 files per
folder can be recognized on a single USB device. Basic playback functions
include; Play/Pause, Fast Forward/Rewind, Previous/Next Track, and
Random/Repeat. In addition, the unit is compatible with ID3/WMA Tags and will
display song/artist information. USB portable audio players that can be charged
via USB will be charged when plugged into the unit's USB port.

"Made for iPod/iPhone/iPad":
You can also use the unit's front-panel USB (type-A) port to connect your Apple
iPod, iPhone, or iPad. Simply connect your iPod, iPhone, or iPad to the unit's
front-panel USB port via the cable that comes with your Apple device. The CS-355
supports audio playback, menu navigation, and charging
of your compatible Apple device. The CS-355 supports playback of music stored on
your iPod/iPhone/iPad, or music from downloaded apps (such as Pandora, Spotify,
or MOG). You can control music playback from the unit's remote control, or
continue to use your Apple device's clickwheel or touchscreen. You will continue
to use your Apple device's LCD screen to view song/artist information. While connected, your iPod/iPhone/iPad is charged via USB. The
Onkyo CS-335 supports the following models of iPod, iPhones, and iPhones (as of
12/14/2012).

as described

Well described. I looked at reviews elsewhere also and decided this was the one to do the job as a shop sound uinit that is on for hours each day and needs a good FM radio and all the other things as well. I am using a sub woofer and it fills my space just fine.

Room-filling sound with great stereo separation

Written By Harry, Richmond, VA on Sunday, March 02, 2014

Great sound from such a small unit. We have another brand of small stereo that advertises "room filling sound", but that unit is an all-in-one box; when you stand across the room from that unit, it's very apparent all the sound is coming from one central point. The Onkyo unit has separate speakers you can position away from the receiver to get true stereo separation. The Onkyo also recreates a full range of sound, from the deepest bass all the way thru the highest pitch. Thoroughly great sound from such a small, unobtrusive package. We are very pleased.

Comprehensive Sstem

The system has radio, CD, Bluetooth and USB. I use the latter two for my IPOD. The sound is great and is indicative of the speakers having separate woofers and tweeters. The ability to separate them also adds to the sound quality.

Pros:Stylish system with the ability to play radio, CD and connect the latest components via USB and Bluetooth.

Onkyo is a miss

The cs-355 looks good and sounds great. I needed a system to play flash drive (thumb drive) via USB input. I followed the directions in the manual. Didn't work. I called Onkyo and they didn't help (didn't return my call as promised). I tried a replacement unit from Crutchfield (the support was excellent). Unfortunately it appears to be an internal problem at Onyko. I will continue to use Crutchfield as a supplier, but Onkyo is on my do not use list.

Pros:Compact and good sound

Cons:Doesn't play flash drives through USB input as stated in unit description and operation manual. Manufacturer representative in New Jersey not reliable(didn't return call as promised).

Great sound for such a small receiver!

This little system has it all! Bluetooth your music for MP3 or Pandora! Plays single CD's, and AM/FM receiver! Plus you can use a flash drive or USB! Has a clock with a sleep timer also! Great little system for my 80 year old mother who wanted something simple to operate, but us kids can take over and use to the fullest! Great price on the unit, beat all other units for the low cost! Thanks again and I will return for other items!

Pros:Easy to use, a child or elderly person can operate! CD, Bluetooth, USB or AM/FM receiver! Fits in small spaces!

Versatile for "old" media and new

My partner is both wheelchair bound and a music professional who demands good sound but can't readily fiddle with switches and wires. Very few small systems sound well with bluetooth connectivity yet have CD players and "old fashioned" radio. This has all those possibilities accessible by remote, one that's quite well designed considering all the functions it handles. We really like the sound. It's good looking. We're thrilled. My first purchase at Crutchfield, where advisor Marshall helped me sort out my complicated needs. Terrific.

Great sound & value

I am extremely pleased with this acquisition; it was bought to replace a Bose Wave Radio. I much prefer the bright clear full range sounds of the Onkyo to the heavy bass and light mid-range of my previous unit. A Crutchfield representative recommended this Onkyo unit over a more expensive brand I was considering and I am thankful for that recommendation; he saved me money and got me the sound I wanted.

Pros:Good clarity with full rang of sound. Very good functionality overall. Nice size and very useable remote. Great price!

Fantastic and compact system!

Written By Anonymous, Richmond,Va on Friday, May 03, 2013

I purchased this gem after researching and testing many compact shelf systems. I have a vast collection of CD's and was looking for a replacement to my aging bookshelf system. This system is bar none the best on the market and you will not be disappointed. System set-up was a breeze and the sound is truly phenominal for a system of its size. Onkyo has a history of making quality electronics and this is no exception. From the main system to the speakers and the remote, quality abounds. The system plays back regular and burned CD's with ease and no skipping. I recommended this system without reservation.

The evolution of small home stereo

I wanted to replace my old Panasonic shelf stereo, (it had cassette decks) with one with Bluetooth and USB. And I wanted affordable quality. I have multiple Bluetooth and this handles up to 8. Planning on putting my cd collection on USB drives and this handles that, also takes line in from my cable TV box so I can stream pandora through them and of course better sound than my TV. Couldn't care less about surround sound an all that.

Pros:Overall excellent, got what I paid for, my first Crutchfield order and very happy.

Cons:I would have paid a little more for a slightly larger unit but that said, I will be keeping this one for sure.
